My love for my Savior <3
I wish to talk about my feelings on Section 45 of the Doctrine & Covenants. I was reading through this Section and so many things were going through my mind of how grateful I am for The Savior. Verse 7 states, "For verily I say unto you that I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and the life of the world—a light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not." I love this verse because it means so much. That we cannot even choose sides really. We have to be with the Savior, at all times, and in all things that we chose to do in this life. I have read similar verses to this and just kept thinking about how we need to always have the Savior, Heavenly Father, and the Holy Ghost on our minds, to have them be able to lead us to where we may need to be. The darkness is Satan and we do not need to have him in our life at all.
The path of darkness, is loneliness, wallowing in self pity, lives have no direction, meaning, or love. I know that I don't even want to be stepping one foot towards Satans foot holds.
I have a story from this week, of something that happened and that has just really bothered me. And this may be more of a vent than anything. I have a sister in Idaho Falls, that I do love her dearly, but she has no direction, she just uses people, and she uses my family from time to time to get what she wants. My dad had his birthday on Monday and then Today Friday was my dad's retirement. So Thursday we invited her for Dinner at a Resturant. We just told her to come and meet us at this place and she didn't have money so my grandmother said that she would pay for her. I dunno what would go through her mind in thinking that it was okay for her to bring her boyfriend and her boyfriends daughter, not even asking if it was okay to bring them, and she didn't even have money for them, and had my grandmother pay for her and also them at this restaurant. My grandma said she went to the front to pay and they all just stood there til she paid and then they came in and ate, and then they left.
I have been thinking that I need my Saviors help in understanding what goes through a persons head when they are in a place where they only think of themselves. I really really try to think of others, and how others want to be treated. My grandmother was not happy, and we were all not happy once we left the parking lot of this place.
I just sat there was thinking of how the Savior would have acted in this situation and he was used, beaten, and he died on the cross for us. So I think that my forgiveness of my sister is one of the things that I need to work on. He wouldn't want me to be mad. I re-read this verse over and over again this evening, considering I have been mad at my sister. In verse 6 "Hearken, O ye people of my church, and ye elders listen together, and hear my voice while it is called today, and harden not your hearts;"
Also, I have been thinking a lot about the Second Coming of the Savior from these Sections in the Doctrine and Covenants. There are several times, where it talks about some of the things that shall come to pass when the Second Coming is near. From verse 16 "And I will show it plainly as I showed it unto my disciples as I stood before them in the flesh, and spake unto them, saying: As ye have asked of me concerning the signs of my coming, in the day when I shall come in my glory in the clouds of heaven, to fulfil the promises that I have made unto your fathers,"
I also looked up some of the scriptures about the Second Coming for the Topical Guide in the back. and like 3 Nephi 24:2, "But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth?"
I am going to continue to think of my feelings for the Savior this week. I am going to work on forgiveness of others. I know that I am not perfect in anyway, and if I were to do something that made others mad, I would want them to give me.
